Stupid Client Quote #6815

Potential client emailed me to design a site for them, but they wanted a "flat fee" for me to make a site with unlimited pages, and I had to give him a copy of my design software so that he could update the site himself afterwards.

This client was a freelance photographer so I figure he should know what it's like to work with unrealistic clients and not behave as such himself.

I just replied: Do you charge the same rate for someone who wants a 1 hour photoshoot as someone who needs a full weekend worth of photo time at a distant location. And do you give them your camera afterwards so they can take their own photos?
